    Veggie scrambled eggs:
    4 florets of broccoli
    1/2 cup kale
    1 whole egg
    2 egg whites
    1 tsp parmesan cheese
    1 tsp olive oil

    Serve with 1 slice whole grain toast and a piece of fruit. This was my post workout lunch today. Nothing wrong with having breakfast for lunch, plus it has a good amount of protein that will keep you going to your next snack (20g).

    Also, if you want something to help replace the sour cream, try low fat sour cream or plain greek yogurt.

    I save leftovers from my evening meals and freeze them in individual portion tubs. At weekends I make a big batch of soup/ stew from the fridge, and do the sane with that.

    i like to make a veggie soup in the slow cooker and have soup for the week. - half head of cabbage, can of crushed tomatoes with liquid, veggie stock, diced potatoes, mushrooms, eggplant, diced zucchini, spices, chicken if you eat meat if not then tofu, spices and some water.

    also i bring leftovers to work.

    do you have access to a fridge and microwave?

    mashed chickpeas mix in greek yogurt and spices like dillweed, onion powder, garlic powder, chives and have that on a sandwich with lettuce and tomato.

    salad with cucumbers feta olives tomatoes peppers mushrooms and honey mustard dressing

    flat out wrap and make a pizza out of it

    i like to make vegetarian chili as well and bring that serve over rice, couscous or quinoa

    I make soup every weekend and pre portion it. Some I freeze for future weeks and some I plan on eating that same week. One of the soups I make most often is a chicken stock based potato soup.

    Potato and Cocktail Sausage Soup

    1 Large potato (cubed 1/2 inch)
    2 Large carrots chopped
    3 Stalks celery chopped
    1/2 onion chopped
    1/3 pack cocktail sausages sliced into thin rounds (1/4 inch thick)
    6 cups low/no sodium chicken stock
    salt
    pepper
    white wine vinegar

    Brown sliced sausage in heavy pot over medium high heat. Turn down heat to medium and add carrots, onion, and celery and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add potatoes and chicken stock and slowly bring up to a simmer. Let soup simmer until carrots potatoes are fork tender. Add a splash of vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
